Who doesn't love Candy Dulfer... just her name sounds great! ;)

Your cover sounds good.
The percussion and bass have good dimension and low end, overall layout and flow.
Two things I'd change (if it were me) is to add more depth to the guitar and sax VI's. They sound a little 'honky' and thin. For example (if it were me) I'd explore adding more low end depth with EQ and/or multi-band compression and/or double the tracks, etc..

Yes, Candy Dulfer is incredible. Love her!

Thanks for the great suggestions, scottyo7. I really appreciate it! :D

+1 to everything that Scotty said. The general body of the piece has a really nice sound to it but the sax in particular does sound very 'thin'.

Thanks for sharing.
